Heheh, wow--nice capture of that crowd. The first thing I noticed was the pig nose.

300,000 attendees ... and I think you got all of them in this shot! :-) Good job, Traveller! - Ken

a good link, 300,000 attendee's this year, down from 400k last year:

Gotta run and buy and ship a camera to someone just robbed in Colombia...what the hell, he's a friend, (and a Police Captain).

But I do have real things to do....but a friend is a friend, you've got to take care of them.

I'm out.

Best Wishes, Traveller

What brought them all together - and you- to this place? The opening of what?

Well I think it extraordinary in the sense that we have a bright, sparkling, happy scene, a massive milling crowd...and a man, alone, in 3/4 profile with a pig nose on his forlorn face.

It is a Felinni moment if you like...made better and truer of the human condition by me.

So there is no interesting story in the normal sense of what is the story....the story is us, being human.

Best Wishes, Traveller

An intriguing capture - it makes me want to hear the story behind it.
